Answer 1

$350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation for the required sales in dollars to break even.

First step is to calculate the Contribution margin

Revenues $380,000

less Variable costs $224,200

Contribution margin $155,800

Contribution margin ratio = 155,800 / 380,000= 41%

Break even sales in dollars = Total fixed costs / CM Ratio = $143,500/ 41% = $350,000

Therefore the required sales in dollars to break

even is $350,000
